Serial killers, @scooter. You forgot to mention the serial killers.
No forgetting. Just conveniently omitted…
On the subject, though. Netflix has a new series starting tonight. It's about Dahmer. There was a poll done locally, and viewers here are not too enthused about reliving the creepiness...
I know I won't be watching....
I watched episode one before I went to bed last night. Not a great plan

I’m prepared for deeply unpleasant, and won’t deny a fascination for the subject material, but I’m concerned regarding how speculative it might be. Was it trashy @Alex ?
I'm, not super familiar with the story, and am quite happy to remain that way whilst I watch, so can't comment of the speculative nature of it, but in terms of a production I thought it was pretty well done and acted.

It is fascinating and awful. Without going into detail, he is a very sad, pathetic figure. Almost tragic if he wasn’t so absolutely vile in his actions. There will always be conflicts of interests involved in dramatising the life of any serial killer, in this case, his choice of victims and the environment that he hunted, in only serve to make this even more challenging to do in a balanced fashion.

I grew up less than 2 miles from his grandmother's house, where a couple of his early victims met their demise. I was a teen when he lived there. In 1982 he was arrested for indecent exposure at the Wisconsin State Fair, which was a block away from my home. I was 13, at the time. The story literally hits too close to home for me…

Not do derail this thread, but change of plans due to Covid in da house, so can join on Saturday.

Hooray? I’ll be pleased to see you, but sorry about the ‘vid.
I’m other news, it was me derailing the thread. You got it back on track [emoji38]

That's 1PM CST, I think? I should be able to make that. Lookin' forward to it!

Being on central time, myself, I can confirm your thinking. Good to have you on board.

Wrong thread entirely but this is where it was mentioned and I’m dying to get this off my chest…
Anyone else slightly perplexed and offended that one of the “descriptors” Netflix uses on the title page for the Dahlmer series is LGTBQ? Like you’re scrolling through titles, see that then think, “Cool! Seems like this one wil speak to me.” ???

I don't think the community really needs that especially right now. I wonder if that was deliberate, lots of hate flowing around right now.

I just think it’s Netflix shitty algorithms trying to cover demographics. I refuse to believe anyone sat down and thought it was a good idea. I wonder if they call “Sophie’s Choice” a family drama.
